Limitless
Meet Mallory Weggemann: a Paralympic gold-medalist, world champion swimmer, ESPY winner, and NBC Sports commentator whose extraordinary story will give you the encouragement you need to rise up to meet any challenge you face in life. On January 21, 2008, a routine medical procedure left Mallory paralyzed from her waist down. Less than two years later, Mallory had broken eight world records, and by the 2012 Paralympic Games, she held fifteen world records and thirty-four American records. Two years after that, a devastating fall severely damaged her left arm. But despite all of the hardships that Mallory faced, she was sure about one thing: she refused to give up. After two reconstructive sur...

Ghosts of Everest
Did Mallory and Irvine reach Everest's summit 30 years before Hillary and Tenzing? Until now, clues about what happened to these two Everest pioneers had been scant and misleading. Until now, no one has known whether they reached the summit. Until now, no one has known where or how they perished. This is a detective story of the first order. It is the story not just of Mallory and Irvine's last climb, but of the team of climbers and researchers who, together, found the body of perhaps Britain's greatest mountaineer and uncovered the startling story he had waited so long to reveal. Written by the three key members of the team, and incorporating extensive interviews with other team members, GHOSTS OF EVEREST is the dramatic unfolding of both the 1999 and 1924 expeditions, woven together into a compelling narrative. This book is the definitive account and has become an instant classic.

Speech of the Hon. Stephen R. Mallory, of Florida, on the Cuba Bill
Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. Stephen R. Mallory, of Florida, on the Cuba Bill: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February, 1859 Mr. Mallory. Mr. President, I prefer going on now, late as the hour is, because I perceive that unless the friends of this bill stand by it, we shall not get a final vote upon it. In rising, particularly after the address to which we have just listened, to support a bill which appropriates money for the purchase of the Island of Cuba, my mind is embarrassed and oppressed, not only by the multitude and variety of the topics which cluster around it, and which, as we have seen here at this moment, have, more or less, entered into the discussion, but by t...
Stephen Russell Mallory
Just as Confederate naval action is commonly overshadowed by the land battles of the Civil War, the navy's originator, Stephen Mallory, is often overlooked in favor of more famous leaders. Mallory had served as one of Florida's U.S. senators for ten years before becoming navy secretary in the Confederate government, challenged to create a valid military force where none had existed. This biography chronicles Mallory's formative years in Key West, his decades of public service, and his declining days. It discusses his career in the United States Senate, where he chaired the Committee for Naval Affairs, helping to strengthen--in an ironic twist of fate--the very navy he would later attempt to defeat. The work also examines the challenges and obstacles Mallory faced in creating a navy for the South. Special attention is given to Mallory's family relationships. Primary sources include autobiographical documents and archival records.
Hello, Mallory
Eleven-year-old Mallory is excited when it looks like the eighth-grade girls will invite her to join their Baby-sitters Club and she might become best friends with the new African American girl in the neighborhood, but the club members have to learn some lessons in fairness first.
